The White Orchid Dinner Cruise in Bangkok offers a delightful evening of dining, live entertainment, and stunning views of the Chao Phraya River’s illuminated landmarks. Guests can enjoy a diverse buffet of Thai and international dishes, though some reviews mention room for improvement in food temperature and variety. Live music and traditional Thai performances create a lively atmosphere, though the volume may be too loud for some. While the service is attentive and friendly, boarding and buffet lines can feel crowded at times. Overall, it’s a unique way to experience Bangkok’s nightlife, blending culture, cuisine, and scenic beauty.

The quality of the buffet is very high, especially the Wagyu beef and lobster. Unfortunately, it only lasts for two hours and there is no beer or red and white wine. It is one of my must-do restaurants in Thailand.

Really beautiful and well managed. Food was also very tasty and had an amazing variety ofcourse. I would love to visit Bangkok again for this.

The tour was quite well planned, comfortable and the guide was very helpful. It was a good experience overall to visit the attractions like the floating market and the railway track market. Only thing is that there was one stop in between where there was hardly anything to do, so that seemed to be a little unwanted.

Culture and History

The Grand Palace was established in 1782 by King Rama I, who moved the capital from Ayutthaya to Bangkok.
